EAW pivot mount, 30 mm, Carl Gustav 2000

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design is built so the scope can be removed and reattached without changing point of impact, which is valuable for rifles that alternate between optics or need unobstructed access to iron sights.
• 30 mm ring interface: This version is made for 30 mm scope tubes, giving a secure and properly matched fit for many common hunting riflescopes without resorting to adapters.
• Steel construction: A steel mount body brings the rigidity and wear resistance needed for long-term use on centerfire rifles, helping the optic stay stable under recoil and repeated handling.
• Rifle-specific fit: Designed for the Carl Gustav 2000 platform, this pivot mount follows the geometry of the action for correct positioning and dependable engagement of the mount feet.
• Adjustable mount-foot fit: The EAW Pivot Mount system uses adjustable front and rear foot fits, allowing precise installation and helping the mount lock up consistently after repeated removal.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s classic quick-detachable scope-mounting system and remain one of the most recognizable products in the EAW lineup. EAW states that it developed and launched this pivot-mount concept more than 50 years ago, and the series is still aimed at shooters who want a traditional steel mounting solution with repeatable removal and reinstallation. A defining characteristic of the system is that the mount can be taken off and put back on without changing the point of impact, which is especially useful on hunting rifles that may carry different optics or occasionally be used with open sights.

The series is built around adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, allowing the installer to tune the engagement for a precise lock-up. EAW also positions the pivot mount as a practical choice for use with a second scope or aiming device, which reflects the modular thinking behind the system. Within the broader EAW range, Pivot Mounts sit alongside slide-on and claw mounts, but they stand out for combining a traditional appearance with fast optic removal and dependable repeatability on many common rifles and long guns.

About the EAW pivot mount, 30 mm, Carl Gustav 2000

The EAW pivot mount, 30 mm, Carl Gustav 2000 is a rifle-specific mounting solution for shooters who want a detachable scope setup on a Carl Gustav 2000-pattern rifle while keeping the familiar handling of a classic hunting rifle. Its 30 mm ring size makes it suitable for scopes built on one of the most common main-tube diameters, so it pairs naturally with a wide range of European and international hunting optics.

What makes this model particularly useful is the combination of a pivot-style quick-detach layout and a base geometry matched to the Carl Gustav 2000 action. In practice, that means the scope can be removed for transport, storage, service, or a change of optic, then reattached with the consistent positioning expected from the EAW system. For hunters who use one rifle across different seasons or lighting conditions, that flexibility is often more valuable than a fixed mount.

The use of steel construction favors rigidity and long service life, especially on rifles that see regular field use and repeated recoil cycles. The adjustable fit of the mount feet is equally important: it allows careful installation and helps the mount close with the same engagement each time. The result is a mounting system that suits traditional hunting optics, supports repeatable scope changes, and preserves the practical strengths that made EAW pivot mounts a standard reference in European rifle mounting.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. In 1923, Ernst Apel acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt and changed the EDW brand to EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg. The company developed and produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 riflescope mount development and production have been its primary focus.

Today, EAW is known for manufacturing pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts for riflescopes, with its product range centered on precise mounting solutions for sporting and specialist firearms. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. Alongside its mounting systems, EAW also offers thermal imaging cameras, reflecting its continued focus on aiming and sighting equipment.
